My wife and I just spent a week here (arrived June 20/15). We were looking for a central location near Nice but also wanted something quiet, serene. That was how the place was marketed.
It was central (but make sure you rent a small car since the roads are very, very narrow everywhere and bring a huge amount of patience and nerves - the drivers don't understand or show any sense of courtesy and the drive to the vila is up a windy mountain road where oncoming traffic is routinely in your lane, at twice the speed limit. Be ready for your spouse to scream at a moment's notice!).
As for the serene part:
- the next door neighbor's kids scream in their pool next door, day and night (don't ask the owners of this villa to help - they don't want to upset the neighbors and won't do anything about it). We even talked to the neighbors ourselves, in vain.
- the owners of the villa had parties 3 nights out of the 7 nights we stayed there. A couple of the parties were quite loud. And since the French smoke like chimneys, we had to go inside and close our doors to avoid the smoke. Thanks for the great European doors and windows, because they kept the loud parties to dull roars and kept oxygen in our apartment.
- when the neighbor's kids weren't screaming like they were being attacked by wild boars, their dog would bark to replace the momentary silence. That was a nice touch.
- this is a residential area so expect the sounds of a "normal" suburb. We heard the sound of chainsaws many times, dump trucks unloading rocks and gravel, scooters and loud motorcycles racing on the road next to the villa in a hurry to get to work at 6 am each day, and people watching TV in the evenings.
We did end up having one day when no one was around and could enjoy the view and the pool. That was a good day. But we were always anxious about going back because we expected anything but a quiet place to relax after a long day.
The sunsets are amazing but we only enjoyed it in solitude one night.
Overall, it was a good sized apartment and close to most of the sights in and around Nice. But unless you are deaf and don't mind living with another family below and beside you that treat you as if they were close relatives but wished you weren't really there, I suggest looking elsewhere.
